People will soon stop ranting about billionaires and will rant about trillionaires instead.

Also what comes after a private island? Will the trillionaires have their own private pedo planet? Damn libertarian wet dream..

All of Europe's top AI talent immediately gets recruited away by the American megacorps. European companies simply cannot compete with the salaries and opportunities these corporations can offer. In addition the EU is infamous for being an overregulated bureaucracy monster.

The only two reasons for top AI talent not to move to the US are A.) Anti-Americanism or B.) Patriotism. Now, Anti-Americanism is an ideology of dumb socialist-leaning folk who are not high performers in anything and patriotism has been killed by Europe's left-wing ruling class. This is proven by the fact that indeed all top AI talent produced by Europe thus far has moved to the US.

The most recent, prominent example being Austrian programmer Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw.

"In February 2026, he announced he would be joining OpenAI and rejecting an offer to join Meta. [...] In 2026, he said he was moving to the United States, saying that there was too much regulation and "scolding" stifling AI development in Europe." [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Steinberger_(programmer)]

Argentina is way more politically unstable than the US and has a long socialist history.

If I were an arch-capitalist techno overlord, I would move to Singapore.

True, and that's exactly the reason why people want to buy this stock now.

If future returns were already (almost) certain, they would have been priced in and you couldn't make any money with this stock.

This is a classic high risk / high reward stock. IF the space economy takes off you might 10X your investment. If it doesn't, you might lose most of it.

Rich people (who own most of the stock market) can afford to make such high risk bets, because they can afford to lose the money and thus many will make that bet.

Musk, Thiel, Bezos etc. none of these guys have ever said they want to move there.

Why You Don't Matter Anymore (Economically Speaking) https://youtu.be/T2OHjHPkUzM?si=CNMQLNhs0pkwUsrY

Tl;dw: Most people are already irrelevant to the economy. They are not even needed as consumers anymore because the corporations mostly sell to other corporations and the rich.

Most people thus naturally prefer the world as it was during their formative years.

I know there are plenty of Elixir enthusiasts here, I mean plain ol' Erlang.

If you are still using Erlang, why do you prefer it to Elixir?

This is like someone complaining that making machine parts has been ruined: Skillful craftsmen used to make them by hand using manual tools!

Nowadays the CAD/CAM/CNC cheaters have almost completely automated the whole thing. How is the next generation of craftsmen going to learn how to craft a gear by hand when the process of gear making has been reduced to pressing start on a CNC machine?!

See what I mean? Sorry, I think this article is just Luddite. I can empathize with the pain of your beloved craft basically being rendered obsolete by new technology, but the process can neither be stopped nor is it bad in general.

The manual skills you trained with CTF puzzles are now simply no longer relevant . (Field-specific) "AI orchestration" is the new cyber securtiy skill if LLMs really have become so good at this, and what the author used to do manually then has the same value as being able to craft a gear by hand.

I would say, if you put Claude in an android body with voice recognition and TTS, people in 1991 would think they are interacting with a sentinent machine from outer space.

Meanwhile the Chinese couldn't care less about any of these issues.

The only real question is: Will militarized AI give the nation using it a substantial advantage?

If the answer is yes, the Chinese and the Russians will certainly use it, which will inevitably lead to the US using it too to keep up. All ethical and safety concerns evaporate in an arms race.

My money is on the Chinese accidentally building Skynet in the process. They are absolutely reckless as far as AI is concerned. E.g. while the West was immediately concerned about the safety of OpenClaw, the Chinese government offered grants to anyone building products with it.

Hannibal was in his 20s when he lead the Carthagian campaign against Rome.

Napoleon began at 26 and had conquered half of Europe at 35.

War being a business of old men sending young men to die is a modern thing.

Nowadays LLMs are supposed to replace doctors.. and that makes even less sense given that LLMs are error-prone by design. They will hallucinate, you cannot fix that because of their probabilistic nature, yet all the money in the world is thrown at people who preach LLMs will eventually be able to do every human job.

The second AI winter cannot come soon enough.

..because that is more practical.

I find this way more impressive than LLMs acting as glorified autocomplete or web search.
